Sometimes I wanna take DT and throw him down to B2

A transparent persona anyone can see through

But we’re all just pawns to the big dogs right, what can we do?

Yo whoever he grabbed by the p should’ve tweeted “Me too”


But Trump just represents a problem, the guy ain’t the root

If you think things like racism or sexism started with him, I think that’s cute

I know there’s usually a lot of hate for the head honcho in a suit

Even from me, but if I said he created this mess, I wouldn’t be saying the truth


This has been going on for years, piling fears

Of people who aren’t from where we are, leaving trails of tears

Shunning those who live differently, no cheers if we’re drinking beers

And you just happen to identify as being queer


Or catcalling the opposite sex, which happens way more to girls

Half the world feeling uncomfortable around the other half of the world

Guys thinking dirty at midnight or like whoever’s next to 'em has a stack of pearls

Grabbing bags from who they can or yelling at people to give ‘em a twirl


Now I am not a saint, even though I don’t do things like this

If I thought just because I didn’t that I’m good, I’d be living ignorantly in bliss

If I thought just cause none of that happened to me, so it’s something I could dismiss

I guess I’d technically be okay helping only myself, but that ain’t the point of this


Now I’m not saying if you hear a stranger scream get ready to get into a fight

Although it’d be badass, it ain’t a bad thing to keep violence out of your sight

If you can, help someone know wrong from right

Cause some people just don’t know, and if everyone sees and no one says, they still might


They might do it again, they might try something worse

I’m not just talking about catcalling or stealing a purse

You can be the difference between a person ending up in a hospital or being the nurse

Or the difference between them driving a Bentley or rolling in the back of a hearse


Like school, where the work sucks but it’s a place full of dreamers

If you work at one or are the parent of a student, remember you're both teachers

I sound preachy but I sure as hell don’t want you to be a preacher

Just do your job the best you can and shape the future by improving its features


Help them learn, create the turn

Of a new leaf for the better

Make their minds churn, let the humility burn

Cause a hard working, educated individual

Is way better than an ignorant idiot on top with all the cheddar

Small towns certainly have their pros and cons. Many people who grow up in small towns find themselves counting the days until they get to escape their roots and plant new ones in bigger, "better" places. And that's fine. I'd be lying if I said I hadn't thought those same thoughts before too. We all have, but they say it's important to remember where you came from. When I think about where I come from, I can't help having an overwhelming feeling of gratitude for my roots. Being from a small town has taught me so many important lessons that I will carry with me for the rest of my life.

I can't say "thank you" enough to express how grateful I am for you coming into my life. You have made such a huge impact on my life. I would not be the person I am today without you and I know that you will keep inspiring me to become an even better version of myself.

Course registration at college can be a big hassle and is almost never talked about. Classes you want to take fill up before you get a chance to register. You might change your mind about a class you want to take and must struggle to find another class to fit in the same time period. You also have to make sure no classes clash by time. Like I said, it's a big hassle.

This semester, I was waitlisted for two classes. Most people in this situation, especially first years, freak out because they don't know what to do. Here is what you should do when this happens.

Whether you met your new love interest online, through mutual friends, or another way entirely, you'll definitely want to know what you're getting into. I mean, really, what's the point in entering a relationship with someone if you don't know whether or not you're compatible on a very basic level?

Consider these 21 questions to ask in the talking stage when getting to know that new guy or girl you just started talking to:

Challah vs. Easter Bread: A Delicious Dilemma

Is there really such a difference in Challah bread or Easter Bread?

Ever since I could remember, it was a treat to receive Easter Bread made by my grandmother. We would only have it once a year and the wait was excruciating. Now that my grandmother has gotten older, she has stopped baking a lot of her recipes that require a lot of hand usage--her traditional Italian baking means no machines. So for the past few years, I have missed enjoying my Easter Bread.
